Public folders revisited….

You must wait for the next instance of public folder replication to complete before the public folder replicas are removed.

To verify that all public folders have been moved to the Destination Server

In the Source Server, open Exchange System Manager, expand First Administrative Group, expand Servers, expand ServerName, expand First Storage Group, and then expand Public Folder Store(ServerName).

Click the Public Folder Instances node. After all of the public folder replicas have been moved, the Public Folder Instances node will be empty.

Depending on the replication interval that you set and the amount of information that must be replicated, this process can take several hours or several days to complete.

So what public folder replication resources do we have?

First off make sure you’ve kicked up the replication priority so that they will go. If you have a huge public folder don’t do this during business hours .. mind you normally it’s recommended to let Exchange move it’s thing overnight anyway…

Go into the public folder instances and on each public folder, right mouse click, go to the replication tab and mark it urgent

3c) Check if there is any Third party Anti-virus Application is Installed, if yes then, Go to the Following Registry->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current Control set\Services\MsExchangeIS\Virus Scan On the right hand side zero out the following values:- 1) Background Scanning 2) Enabled 3) Pro-active scanning (make sure that there are no mobile device users.if so then, u will have to set this value to 1 after reboot) Set Exclusions on Antivirus so tha it should not Scan all Exchange folders and inetsrv folder. Reboot the server and the status. (IF antivirus is Installed on both source as well as Destination then Set the Registry and Exclusions on Both servers and reboot)

3d) Check if the Source Server Has SEND AS and RECIEVE AS Permission on Destination Server.
